Meet Cassidy Copper- From the Bull Rider Wears Pink - Jeanine Mc Adam

My
name is Cassidy Cooper.I am from THE
BULL RIDER WEARS PINK but I’m also mentioned in THE BULL RIDER AND THE BARE
BOYCOTTER & THE BULL RIDER AND THE BABY.In those two books my brothers Logan and Caleb don’t think very highly
of me.But I had some complicated things
going on in my life and in THE BULL RIDER WEARS PINK I tell my story.Hopefully the readers won’t judge me too
harshly because I did make some really bad decisions but I had my reasons.

How
did you come to your author’s attention?

I
came to Jeanine’s attention because my thirteen-year-old son Kevin was being
cared for by my brother’s Logan and Caleb in the first two books of the series.
(BTW – our three stories are called THE SKIRTS AND THE SPURS TRIOLOGY) Kevin
was doing poorly in school, misbehaving and driving Logan nuts.Most of that was because he was angry at me
for not being there for him.But,
there’s a happy ending to our story.We
rebuild our relationship.REMEMBER my
story is complicated and please don’t judge me until you’ve read THE BULL RIDER
WEARS PINK from cover to cover.

Did
you give your author a hard time when she was writing your story?

Yes,
absolutely! Mine is a story of
redemption.As I’m sure you can tell I didn’t
start out as a very likeable character.(What mother leaves her son with her brother’s?)It was very hard for Jeanine to explain my
behavior and then to make me into a likeable character.In most romance novels the heroine is a woman
the reader can relate to.However, that
wasn’t the case with me.I really
appreciated Jeanine understanding that I was a young mother, overwhelmed by my
responsibilities and I made some really bad decisions.

What
do you do for a living?

(Takes
a deep breath).Right after Kevin was
born I tried to become an actress (remember I just spoke about bad decisions),
then I became an undercover cop (yes, another personality flaw of mine is that
I’m reckless – I like adventure) now I’m a bull rider.But the great part about being a female bull
rider is that my son Kevin is traveling the circuit with me this summer.We are bonding.

Who
is the love of your life?

(Another
deep breath).John Risk.Yes, even his name sounds reckless and rash.I knew that and tried not to love him.I even left L.A. to get away from him.But there was no sanctuary at the rodeo.He and I needed to face each other and work out
the conditions of this love we have.

What’s
your greatest fear?

The
readers won’t give me a chance.They
will judge me because I was a bad mother.But I changed in THE BULL RIDER WEARS PINK.Maybe I’m not the most conventional mother
but I am a good mother to my son and I hope Jeanine’s readers will appreciate and
respect my journey.

Will
we be seeing you in future books?

Yes,
Jeanine is writing a novella about our other brother Shane.He was a solider and seriously hurt in
Afghanistan.That story is about his
painful recovery both physically and emotionally and how he falls for his
physical therapist.Kevin and I go to
visit him at the rehabilitation facility.
